Friday, Sept. l. 
The drawings for the second round on Friday 
brought together Nautilus and Atair, Adelaide and Maid 
of Meudon. The course chosen was from a quarter of 
a mile south of Great Captain’s Island to Matinnicock 
Point and return, a distance of 9^2 miles. Nautilus and 
Atair started at ii:io. At the end of the outward 
journey, which was to windward, the first named led 
by 3m. 25s. On the run home Nautilus increased her 
lead to one of Sm. In the struggle between the second 
pair, which was sent away at 11:20, Adelaide won by 
im. 5 IS. At the outer mark the winning craft had a 
lead of 2m. 39s. Maid of Meudon making her gain on 
the run home. The summaries of the second round 
follow: 
First Pair — Start, 11:10.

For more than one reason it was decided best to 
finish the series on Friday, and so the final race be- 
tween Adelaide and Nautilus was started at 3:15 P. M. 
The course was a beat to windward from the gas buoy 
off Great Captain’s Island to Matinnicock Point and 
return, ii nautical miles. Adelaide was 58s. ahead at 
the turn of the outer mark. Nautilus picked up on the 
run home, and at one time was in the lead. By laying 
a good course, however, Adelaide managed to finish 
a winner by 14s., securing the Benedict cup, valued at 
$100. Nautilus got a prize from the Indian Harbor Y. 
C. for being second boat of the series. H. Wilmer 
Hanan and Frank Bowne Jones made up the committee 
handling the match. The summary follows : .

Intefdub Series. 
Atlantic Y. C., New York Harbor- — Aug. 29 and 30. 
A MOST interesting interclub contest between two of 
the Larchmont raceabouts and a like number of Class 
Q boats built under the new rule for Atlantic Y. C. 
members, was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 
29 and 30, over courses in the Lower Bay. The Class 
Q boats scored new honors for the rating rule, winning 
the series on points by 12 to 8, and giving the race- 
abouts a fair beating in the closing event of the series. 
The two boats selected to represent the Atlantic Y. C. 
were More Trouble, designed by C. D. Mower, and 
Cockatoo IT, a production from the board of Clinton 
H. Crane; The raceabouts were Adrian Iselin Yd’s 
Nora, also a Crane creation of this year, and Macy 
Willetts’ Cricket, built in 1902 by Crowninshield. 
The series grew out of the equality shown between 
the two types of boat on actual elapsed times during 
the Larchmont race week. Invader, Jr., and Rana, 
were expected to accompany the other Sound boats, 
all coming at a later date, to meet besides More Trouble 
and Cockatoo II., Quest and Saetta, the other new 
Class Q boats in the Atlantic Y. C. A mixup of plans 
occurred, but although the visitors were not expected 
until a later day, final arrangements for the series were 
made in time to start the first event on Tuesday. The 
Class Q boats are of good displacement, rating under 
the new rule below the class limit of 22ft. The race- 
abouts have much less displacement and measure in the 
27ft.. class. 
Tuesday, Aug. 29. 
The first race on Tuesday was won by Nora, which 
defeated Cockatoo II. by 8s., More Trouble by 38s. and 
Cricket by lom. 26s. A fresh N.W. wind was blowing, 
which kicked up an unusual sea in Gravesend Bay. It 
was thought best not to sail a course which would take 
the boats across the channel, so a triangle was laid 
out within the bay, with marks, at the start off Sea Gate, 
at Fort Hamilton and Ulmer Park. This course was 
covered four times, aggregating ii miles. 
All of the . boats started .with two reefs. The first 
leg to Fort Hamilton was a dead beat, the next to 
Ulmer Park, a spinnaker run, and the last leg home a 
reach with booms to port. At the end of the first 
round More Trouble led Nora by 30s., Cockatoo II. 
by im. 46s.. and Cricket by 4m. 44s. On the second 
round reefs were shaken out. Difficulty was experi- 
enced in getting the mainsail of More Trouble to set 
well Nearly three feet had been cut from the mast 
the day before, uti.d the lialyard blocks were left titi» 
changed. Nora passed More Trouble on the run to 
Ulmer Park and led at the end of the second round by 
13s. Cockatoo II. was third, 2m. 39s. away. Cricket 
was 6m. i8s. behind the leader. At the end of the third 
round Nora was 35s. ahead of More Trouble, 2m. 
42s. in front of Cockatoo II. and 8m. 20s. in front 'of 
Cricket. 
The wind flattened on the last round just after the 
boats had turned the Fort Hamilton mark. Cockatoo 
II. brought up a fresh breeze, passing More Trouble 
and nearly doing the same trick by Nora. The two 
boats had it nip and tuck to the finish, the visitor 
finally crossing the line 8s. to the good. Nora was sailed 
by Ralph Law. Hendon Chubb sailed Cockatoo IT, 
Charles D. Mower had the stick on More Trouble, 
while F. W. Vulte was the skipper of Cricket. In the 
point system employed a boat got one for enti'y and 
one for every craft defeated. The summary follows:

Wednesday, Aug. 30. 
A S.W. breeze, with a spirited freshness about it, 
prevailed when the start of the last race of the Inter- 
club match was made on Wednesday. A course was 
selected, which took the boats three times from Sea 
Gate to Fort Hamilton, thence across the channel to 
the bell buoy off Craven Shoal and home, an aggregate 
distance of 12 miles, leaving all marks to port. The 
first leg was a reach with boom to starboard, the next 
brought one or two close-hauled hitches and the last 
was a run home with spinnakers set to starboard. At 
the end of the first round the wind hauled to the W. 
and gave the boats a close reach to the first mark and 
one long fetch to the second. 
More Trouble made a runaway race of it, gaining at 
every turn. ■ At the end of the first round she was im. 
IIS. ahead. When the second journey had ended she 
was im. 58s. in the lead and at the finish she was 3m. 
13s. ahead of Cockatoo II., which led Cricket by 24s. 
and- Nora by 8s. more. 
The exciting part of the contest was the manner in 
which Cockatoo II., after being fourth boat at the end 
of the first round, closed up on Nora and Cricket on the 
run from the bell buoy and passed them, drawing out 
a lead in the freshening breeze as soon as on the wind. 
Cricket was sailed much better then on the first day.

Long Island Sound— Saturday, Sept. -2; 
Thirty-seven boats started in the annual fall regatta of the 
Indian Harbor Y. C., held over Sound courses ^on the afternoon 
of Saturday, Sept, 2. The winners were Mineola, Nautilus, 
Memory, Mimosa III., Rascal II., Rascal, Thelema, Paumonak, 
Ace, and Kenoshi. A fine S.E. breeze kicked up quite a sea, and 
the racing proved spirited. The 70-footer Mineola met Yankee 
for the. first time since the cruise of the New York Y. C., on 
which the former had to retire at Newport because of a weak 
place in her mast. These big sloops sailed a course from starting 
point off Great Captain’s Island to Center Island, thence to Long 
Neck Point and return, 2014 miles. The starting gun was fired 
at 12:15, Mineola crossing the line with better headway than 
Yankee. She soon drew clear, and led by about Im. at the end 
of the first leg, which was to windward. Yankee gained slightly 
on the reach, and kept picking up until the end. Mineola fin- 
ished 37s. in the lead. 
The New York Y. C. 30-footers, the 33ft. sloops, and the yawls 
sailed a 15-mile triangular course, with the first leg to windward 
and the other two reaches. Eight of the thirties started, Addison 
Hanan sailed Nautilus to victory, taking the lead at the end of the 
first leg to windward. At the finish W. Butler Duncan, Jr.’s 
Dahinda was Im. 60s. away. _ Cara Mia was third by 9s. Mimosa 
III. had her usual success in the 33ft. class for sloops, winning 
out from Regina and Nike by a big margin. The fight for second 
honors was a hard one, Regina getting it by 16s. from Nike. 
Memory had no difficulty in winning from Cherokee in the yawl 
class. 
The other racers of the fleet covered a ten-mile triangle with 
the same relative sailing as the larger members of the fleet. Four 
of the raceabouts started. Rascal II. winning by Im. 14s. from 
Mystral. Rascal was returned the victor in the regular 27ft. 
class, while a special match in the same division between Thelema 
and Montauk, went to rhe former. Paumonak got the race for the 
Class Q boats. Ace scored another one of her numerous victories 
in Class R, while Kenoshi beat Wa Wa in a match for Indian 
Plarbor knockabouts. Frank Browne Jones, Charles F. Kirby 
and Charles E. Simms, officiated as Race Committee. Commo- 
dore E. C. Benedict’s steam yacht Oneida was used as judges’ 
beat. The summaries follow:
